POWER WASHER LOCATION
Clearances and Air Movement
Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause headache, fatigue, dizziness,
vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting or
death. For more information, reference the CO
warnings in the Safety Rules section.
Place power washer outdoors in an area that will not accumulate
deadly exhaust gas. NEVER place power washer where exhaust
gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a
potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away
from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings
that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area. Prevailing
winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when
positioning power washer (Figure 20).
Operate power washer ONLY outdoors.
Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows,
doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.
NEVER start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, EVEN IF
windows and doors are open.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers,
or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
WINTER STORAGE
NOTE:
You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render
your unit inoperable.
Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Follow steps 1-3 in the previous section After Each Use.
2. Use pump saver to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage
and lubricates pistons and seals.

LONG TERM STORAGE
If you do not plan to use the power washer for more than 30 days,
you must prepare the engine and pump for long term storage.
PROTECT FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use a fuel stabilizer,
available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2
minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system. The
engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer,
it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until
it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage
container is recommended to maintain freshness.
CHANGE OIL
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil in Engine
Maintenance.
PROTECTING THE PUMP
To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits
or freezing, use PumpSaver, Model 61350, to treat pump. This
prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
NOTE:
PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It is
not included with the power washer. Contact the nearest
authorized service center to purchase PumpSaver.
NOTE:
YOU MUST PROTECT YOUR UNIT FROM FREEZING
TEMPERATURES.
Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render
your unit inoperable.
Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
To use PumpSaver, make sure the power washer is turned off and
disconnected from supply water. Read and follow all instructions
and warnings given on the PumpSaver container.
OTHER STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
